Angeles Chapter History

The Angeles Chapter was founded in 1911, starting first as the Southern California Section of the Sierra Club, then as the Southern California Chapter, and finally, as the Angeles Chapter.

Through these pages we recognize some of the achievements of our members and share the glorious past of the Angeles Chapter.
